This ill conceieved app is no different than My Gateway, which sends me approvals for things applied for 8 months after I have long paid for and received them.
The most recent I went to try and message them through the app, both links took me to some foreign language or gibberish language so I figure it got hacked.
With Exempt at the end of the day, you still have to go to the counter agent, then cashier, and back to the counter to prove you went to the cashier, and the cashier or counter agent can't find your filing anyway.
This will do little to stem the revenue leakage, much to make life here more difficult.

Typical remedial government app design and function. It does not account for all possibilities and does not seem to have the capacity to upload or store invoices for the typical Bahamian shopper.
Expecting tourists to use it is laughable, adding to the negative experience on arrival.
I was told "only for locals but tourists are encouraged to use it" How the hell are they informed ahead of time?
Do they have roaming? do they even have data? phones?
How robust is the Wifi at all airports? I see dozens of Bahamians and tourists alike sitting around trying to download first the app, second their declarable items.
Another perfect example of Government ineptitude.
For the record, the leakage of revenue must stop. I see a huge hole in this already but government may never figure it out.

@Bonefish, Cabinet can only act upon information provides by the Financial Secretary and others. Cabinet aught to consult in reality and not just claim to consult. But wait, Government claims it consults but who does the consulting for the government and who is consulted with?
So your point is moot. 15 idiots in a room is still 15 idiots no matter which one is in charge.

Yep, Wilson can only pillage native villagers, clueless to real solutions that exist.
But the arrogance they grow, blinds them to any other thought.
The downward spiral is accelerating......

Guys like Shevonn opt for these positions and have to know they're sacrificial goats, unable to actually fix anything. under funded, (Govt Broke) but appointed to keep patching and marginally fixing things to limp forward.
If it crashes, under the bus he goes. Who opts into that scenario? No way he could think he has the answer.

Pissing away $120 mil on slackness in Government payroll, meanwhile attacking the Villagers because they're running out of money to waste.
Anyone else see the problem with this picture?
Pillaging villagers is all that's left apparently.
Sad state of affairs limited by their narrow vision, which carries them to lunchtime. No further.

is "pay their fair share" his only mantra? Fair to whom? Determined by Whom?
The wolves all thought it fair to eat the sheep, no matter how much the sheep protested.

“This, for us, has been a vexing issue because of continued misconceptions about what our intentions are,” (Wilson)
Your intentions are always as clear as mud because your results suck worse than your communication skills. You nor any before you look forward enough to realize what you aim for is not what happens. Ever hear of a flow chart? Work it out to 5 layers and you may get something right for a change. Masters of backlash and foopah.
Now fix your error of nailing Bahamian boat owners when you were targeting foreign owned vessels.

The_Oracle says...

Fish taken out face stronger restrictions from the U.S. going in, with real penalties enforced.
If they think the VAT crimped them, wait til the new Bahamas boat registration fees hit.
Someone in Government had a very bad idea, with major backlash on the "poor " Bahamian fisherman.

Sounds a lot like selling your soul to the company store........
